I tell ya, right now we are screwed for ducks. We have no water what so ever, all the ducks will just move right through Iowa without stopping. None of the sloughs, ponds, or marshes have water.. and most of the rivers are too low to hunt.

ya, bbk isnt kidding. i was home two weekends ago and went to 7 new marshes to scout in NC and NW iowa.... 5 of them were dry. too bad, they looked like great little marshes when there is water there...

Yeah and you would have thought like the big rivers like the mississippi would be fantastic then becasue it is the only water around, but nope. It has been horrible for past three weeks. Finally got word now that this past wensday there was some movement so I'll have to go check it out tomorrow. Thing is people may have shot a few, but did they see alot? Could have been just luck.

Even the mississippi is down as low as I have ever seen it. Alot of small backwaters have no water in them. It is really just the main sloughs and the channel. There is not even a spot with flooded timber or anything!

Fishing has been really messed up on the river due to this. You can actually see the wing dams sticking out of the water in some spots!
